Re: Build thread for MOZDA

Picked up the 121 this morning. Its passed the inspection. It is now roadworthy!!!

Been in talks with an engine machining shop.
Looks like I'm going the whole hog. With the block. Head rebuild as well.

I want 230hp at the wheels.


I'm liking this momentum!!!

A big shout out to Gary (navdoc101).
He sent me a Haines festiva manual and it arrived just as I was beginning to have questions that are all answered in the book.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!

The champ is here!!! The champ is here!!!

Its finally on my driveway.
The ford crapi I sniped on eBay.

Took it for a quick test run.
Engine= great
Gearbox= a bit loose in the kaboose but operational and only crunchy on reverse sometimes.

Brakes= crap
Suspension = crap
Interior= crap

All in all, my Mazda 121 is 10 times the car this will ever be. It handles like a cow.
Ive only driven one Capri so I don't speak for all Capris. I'm sure there are great examples out there. This is not one of them.

But its purpose is to supply me with an organ upgrade for the 121. Which it will do flawlessly.
For that I thank ford for putting such a great engine in such a crap car.

Can't wait to strip it out

Re: Building vs Swapping.

If I were in the us I would definitely do it.
Why don't a handful of you get together and do it?
It would be awesome!!

I think I was born to own a wrecking business.

I've wanted to buy a flatbed and do this...wish I had the money to invest and the property to put all the cars.
